Good Afternoon It was a relatively quiet weekend for me. I managed to get a few presents sorted in the Black Friday sales and also put the Christmas tree up a little earlier than normal (what is normal these days?!). Yesterday was 1st December and this meant the return of the ‘Elf on the Shelf’…

Back to Running, week 3
New running shoes have really helped make a difference for me. I was rinning before in a more general pair of gym trainers. Which are great for weight lifting, but not so supportive for running. I have always struggled to find comfortable shoes, especially for fitness activities. To add to it, England is currently in…
Back to running, week two
I have just started my third week of running. I’ve been enjoying the variety it has added to my workout schedule. Last week an old ankle injury flared up, so I took a couple off running. Having a fairly diverse workout schedule means I can be flexi and adapt my plans when my ankle is…
